Trad shanty, edited by Daisy youtube version

Sheet music is available here

Sally lives on an old plantation Resp:  Pull down below! She’s the prettiest in the nation Resp:  Pull down below! 

Chorus Oh Marcher Laddie Pull down below Marcher Laddie, Bonnie Laddie Pull down below

For seven years he courted Sally Resp:  Pull down below! And all he did was dilly-dally Resp:  Pull down below!  (Chorus)

He bought no gowns, he bought no laces Resp:  Pull down below! Didn’t take her out to fancy places Resp:  Pull down below!   (Chorus)

Sally Brown she loved him dearly Resp:  Pull down below! He had her heart so very nearly Resp:  Pull down below!  (Chorus)

Sally Brown he wouldn’t marry Resp:  Pull down below! And she no longer cares to tarry Resp:  Pull down below! (Chorus)

This laddie now he took a notion Resp:  Pull down below! To sail away across the ocean Resp:  Pull down below!  (Chorus x2)
